=DD
just completed my first ever 21.1km this morning, and its off to perth with the team tonight - wonderful.
its been a long week. like seriously. double trainings are oh so draining, not mention all the travelling time and the recent sucky weather.. well, its over for awhile, from next week i'll be able to do my self training to work on my crappy fitness levels. yay?
anyway, finally bought a new pair of running shoes yesterday from queensway. cheers to tzetian who not only waited for me at tampines when the stupid nokia shop fouled up and took at long time to return my phone, but also accompanied me all the way to queensway and walked around with me and gave me comments and pointers in buying runnng shoes. had pretty interesting chats the whole journey though, there and back - dont ask why, but we were randomly discussing the fear that some psychopath could release a shark or crocodile into bedok.R and kill all of us. haha. as i said - dont ask.
Standard Charteded 21.2km today. urgh. little/no training? well what to say? its a new experience for sure. even before the race started, i decided that i wouldnt go for speed cos i was scared i'd burn out. arranged to run with joel, yuesheng and .. yuesheng's friend? haha. lost ys and his friend less than 500m into the race (wth) so the rest of it was just trying to maintain a constant pace and not burn out before the end.. im guessing that its because of the pace that we were going, but i didnt even pant or run out of breath once during the run, very confortable, although im pretty sure that a fast snail could have owned us. heh. one thing to note, although it wasnt much of a cardio workout, the pain due to the repeated impacts of my feet on the ground was pretty extensive. i think my old injuries (left ankle - right knee) acted up again, and im still feeling the effects of the knee.. ow?
well well... PERTH! PERTH. yeahh... just a couple more hours. i'm so gonna make the most of this trip, both in the sense of training and interaction and buying stuff. haha. how often will i get to australia, gotta shop luh.. actually already bought some stuff in prep for the trip, but i'll save the overall update for when i get back. lol.
till then..
